> Larry Page did not want to answer anything. That's how you do a deposition. I don't know how many depositions Page has had to do over the years, but it's not his first rodeo. Depositions aren't just used as fact-finding (and in a case like this most of the facts are already known) - they're used to force the deposed party into either lying or omitting something they later rely on in order to discredit their eventual testimony. For example, the question "do you recall when" seems simple enough, but let's say I mistakenly mix up the year in my deposition. "How can he be trusted", the defense will say, "if he can't remember basic facts like when the company was bought?".
